Lucy
Instant poetry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I´m gone again and I just don´t know how to get home again
but I´d like to be sure that you´re there again
You´re the piece of the puzzle what´s missing
like a word that just doesn´t rhyme
It´s amazing what you are talking ´bout
I can´t find a rhyme on you, Lucy
You´re the mysterious kind,
Lucy – You
It´s a newborn day and the blackness of sorrow is here to stay
but with the break of dawn it´ll fade away
Soon, I know, we will get together
You will tell me how cruel it has been
It´s a miracle how things have to change
though it seems at the same time we stayed the same, Lucy
The song “Lucy” by Instant Poetry is a melancholic yet hopeful song that speaks of a desire to return home but also a sense of being lost. The lyrics speak of the singer’s desire to be sure that “you” (Lucy) are there again, indicating that Lucy has been a help or anchor in the past. Lucy is described as a piece of the puzzle that is missing, suggesting that she completes and satisfies the singer's life in some way. This is further emphasized by the line that says she is the one who kicked the demons out, implying that she rescued the singer at a time when they were struggling. However, the singer admits that he cannot find a rhyme for Lucy and hence cannot fully understand her. Lucy’s character is shrouded in mystery, and this just adds to her allure.
The second verse again speaks of the blackness of sorrow but also hints at the possibility of things getting better with the break of dawn. The singer is optimistic that soon he will get together with Lucy, and she will explain how cruel things have been. This implies that the two have been separated for some time and that there might have been some misunderstanding between them. The line that says, “It's a miracle how things have to change, though it seems at the same time we stayed the same” captures the essence of life - that things change but also, at the same time, they stay the same. The final line gives a sense of hope that despite everything, the singer and Lucy will come together again.
